Franklin is no stranger to the bright lights of the UK, as his latest bout took place at Wembley Arena, a loss to Dillian Whyte by majority decision. Despite it being his first professional loss, Franklin competed and made it a close call on the cards. This is undoubtedly the biggest fight of his career so far.
